Synopsis
Stealing lifespan, converting it into weapons of special properties , that’s what he thought he could do with his Sacred Gear. Even as a human with four Heavenly Restrictions, he thought his only path to power was his Sacred Gear…and it seemed he had reached his limit. Turns out, desire and drive fuel them and make even the mediocre rise to the level of a God. But what use is power when he can’t live to enjoy it? His greatest dilemma was his permanently halved lifespan, an irreversible cost of one of his Heavenly Restrictions. Fated to die at the age of fifty, Rein’s only chance to survive is by reaching Enlightenment. Will he be able to fulfil all his dreams and…live? *** Read this before you start reading! The MC will be strong, but he has limitations, he is far from being the strongest. As suggested in the synopsis, this story has a dark tone and is not the usual ecchi-centric DXD fanfic. Proceed only if you’re ready for high-stakes action, emotional tension, and a gripping, entertaining story. Read the auxiliary chapter if you want the description of his Heavenly Restrictions. *** Disclaimer: I own nothing. All fictional characters and copyrighted works mentioned in this fanfic belong to their respective owners. I also do not own the book cover.

Chapter 1 - Heavenly Restrictions

Rein Tsukumo (the main protagonist) was born with four different Heavenly Restrictions. Normally, such a thing should be impossible, but fate works in mysterious ways, granting him four distinct abilities, each paired with its own unique tradeoff.

1. Enhanced Physiology

Much like Toji Fushiguro from JJK, Rein has a superhumanly gifted body. He is much stronger than a standard supernatural being physically.

Tradeoff:

No Magic Potential. He is unable to use Magic. Even if he were to be a reincarnated devil, no magic potential would mean he would not even be able to learn basic spells.

2. Temple of Time

His right eye has the power to see two hours into the future, usable once per day. The future he sees is near perfect, but not set in stone — any major changes in the present can alter it. He is given three slots: he can use each slot individually to see someone else's future, or expend all three at once to see his own. Slot usage resets daily.

Tradeoff:

His right eye is blind, and this blindness is permanent, incapable of being cured by any means.

Appearance: Due to the unique nature of this Heavenly Restriction, his right iris appears exotic, featuring a clock-themed pupil.

3. Polymorphic Immunity

Provides immunity to targeted supernatural transformations. 

Tradeoff:

Even willingly, he cannot transform into another species. The only exceptions are natural evolution or ascending to godhood.

4. Essence Protection

Provides existential protection by making his soul and mind extremely resilient. It grants near immunity to all soul- and mind-based attacks.

Tradeoff:

His lifespan is permanently halved and cannot be restored by Senjutsu or any other life-extending means. For example, if he could naturally live to 100, he will now die at 50. Should he be resurrected after reaching this age, the resurrection will fail, making this cost truly irreversible.
